This mountain is called Skitnu Dghelaya, meaning Brush River Mountain, in the Denaʼina language.[4] The Mount Goode name was officially adopted March 5, 1924, by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to commemorate Richard Urquhart Goode (1858-1903), geographer for the United States Geological Survey, in charge of the Pacific Division, Topographic Branch, at the time when work in the Alaska area was first conducted.[5] The first ascent of the peak was made in April 1966 by John Vincent Hoeman and Helmut Tschaffert.[6][7]
